so i think they're really in trouble in virginia. we've seen a slip on the part of the romney campaign since the convention, so whatever that convention bounces, it turned into a convention slide in virginia. we have a series of polls out now that show the gap widening between obama and romney. i think the romney campaign needs to find an opening, a gap to shoot in virginia on that issue. they need to press that gap. >> it's interesting you say that the spokesperson for the rnc in saz said obviously in 2008 we got our clock cleaned here and got caught flat foolted. we're just casting a real wide net in virginia. what do you make of that statement, professor? >> well, it may be a wide net, but it's not capturing anything. in the latest swing state poll, they're behind on every issue. i mean, the number one issue that the romney campaign was going to press against obama they're behind on, the economy. they're behind on national security. they're behind on dealing with the international crises. this is a state with a huge military prese

>> i'm looking at ohio, virginia, florida in particular. i want you to remember one thing that kept coming back over and over again in this convention was the successful bailout of the auto industry and just how important that was. now, think about this for a minute. with all the money that karl rove and his henchmen have, they're not spending a dime in michigan. michigan is mitt romney's home state, and they're not spending a dime. why? they've written it off they understand michigan so grateful to the president for saving the auto industry. guess what? it's going to play in ohio, too. in ohio a lot of people's jobs are back, and if you look at the unemployment statistics in ohio, guess what? they have come a long way since 2008. they are way better today. >> that explains why we keep hearing the line over again, osama bin laden is not alive and well but gm is. jennifer grandville gave in speech of her life. besides the entertainment value of it, she talked about when you look at gm, don't just look at the people that work in the factory.
